Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Currently, some calendars list the duration between the adhan and the iqamah for each prayer. Is it permissible for the mu'adhdhin to perform the iqamah when this time has ended, if the imam has not arrived?
Answer:
What is his obligation? What is his obligation? This was established for the sake of gathering the people and being considerate of the ma'mumin (those praying behind the imam). If they gather twenty minutes or a quarter of an hour before the limit, he prays with them, because the observed interest is that of the one praying. If they are late past the limit, he also delays, depending on the situation. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he saw that they had gathered, would hasten, and when he saw that they were late, he would delay. Yes.
